Wirecard and Stocard Collaborate to Launch Mobile Payment Feature and Drive Contactless Payment Adoption - Seite 2

"The partnership with Stocard is an exciting development in the move towards a cashless society. With 50 million users, Stocard's success demonstrates just how much consumers are shifting towards mobile wallets and cashless payments. We are excited to be collaborating both on the issuing and acquiring side of the payment flow thereby offering consumers a seamless user experience. In the long-term we hope to work with Stocard as they look to offer additional services such as Point of Sale lending and top up payments on a global scale," added Kilian Thalhammer, EVP Product Management at Wirecard.

The cooperation between Wirecard and Stocard is another example of Wirecard providing its Banking-as-a-Service infrastructure for leading FinTechs within the payment ecosystem. Payments through the Stocard mobile app are accepted everywhere with just a tap of the phone on the terminal. By allowing users to bundle payments with rewards and loyalty points, the app has the potential to transform in-store shopping experiences for the better. The latest payment feature unlocks the app's full potential: bringing financial services and shopping together in one place.
